The ID string for the CTD8000 sounds wrong so this may be the wrong driver.Compaq lists the CTD8000 string as: 4326xx 27871-xxxHope this and the link for troubleshooting helps.Dale

: I resently bought an CTD8000 streamer via EBAY. UNder : Win98 it works fine. But a have switched to Windows2000: now. UNder Win2k the STreamer is correctly recogniced: as "ARCHIE Phyton 2635-XXX". But I cannot format or: write to any of my tape (the seam goes for fresh new : tapes). If I try to format tape via the win2k: exchangeable media service (I do not know exactly how : the "wechselmediendienst" ist labled in english win2k: versions) windows says "tape writeprotected" - though : the writeprotect switch for any of my tapes is off?
